Lovely day out! - Our tour to Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Cascais was in fact entirely as advertised and expected!
Ricardo as our guide did really great, as he was always friendly, well-spirited, and open to questions and conversation. He accompanied our visit to the palace in full, making lots of interesting and remarkable observations, thus rendering it much more fruitful and pleasant than we could ever have done if by ourselves only! At no time there was any rush on us, even with some time allowed for us to explore a little on our own, and also to have lunch. Time and money well spent!

Wonderful day! - We had a wonderful day with Ricardo! Communication with him for the pickup was easy and perfect. He was super kind, funny and an excellent guide for this tour. We went to beautiful places and saw wonderful views. Ricardo taught us a lot of thing about the history of the places we saw and about Portugal, which we loved. It was a perfect small group and we had so much fun. We recommend this tour without hesitation!!!

Pleasant guide with a lot of knowledge! - Great guide! Ricardo knows a lot and likes to tell. He is not only full of facts and fun facts, but is also amiable and humorous. Moreover, a quiet driver (and that for a Portuguese:)). In short: very pleasant!

Great guided day out in Sintra - This was a fantastic day out. We met our guide Patrícia at our hotel and she took us to Sintra via a few photo opportunity stops on the way. Her knowledge of the area and the people who have lives in Sintra was second to none. Patricia explained the history of the town and the various palaces and their connections to important people in Europe. The trip was full of excellent information and detail. Including the origin of what the English call tea.
We visited the Sintra Peña Palace and the Monserrat Palace and gardens. Both of these were superb. Patricia then took us to Cascais when we were to stay and dropped us at the hotel.
Patricia was a great host for the day - if she is your guide you will have a top day! Thank you Patricia
